To Kill a President
(2020)(The first book in the Second World Narratives series)
A novel by Eddy Shah
Previously published under the title ‘Second World’
It is a time in the not-too-distant future, even in our own lifetimes. Conor Smith, a GameMaster at the top of his profession, lives between RealWorld, where we actually live, and SecondWorld, a place of Virtual Reality where millions of us go to realise our dreams and ambitions. For some, the two worlds have blurred together and many ordinary people live boring lives in RealWorld and then escape to Second World – where anything goes from sex to murder.
But everything comes at a price.
So spend – who cares. Sell your soul to escape the reality and boredom of Reality. But sinister forces are starting to control Second World; sinister forces that can bring down governments and have no qualms as to who they hurt in their ‘Anything-Goes’ virtual environment. Virtual Reality is not a safe place any longer for those who use it for leisure. Millions will die and never return to their RealWorld lives.
Conor Smith, the GameMaster, is called in to play the most important game of his life – for real. If he fails he will die alone, never to be discovered in the dark areas of Virtual Reality.
The technology of this book is with us now. Be aware before it kills you too.
